After all the initial preparation steps and primer, I was so surprised and happy, the uneven red tones had really evened out, the result after dying, is a warm brown and it’s absolutely perfect. I am sooooo happy with the finished result. It looks well loved, a tad rustic and doesn’t have that all over even colour, which is exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much. " Jo - Darfield

78 - Porsche Leather Restored
"Hi Paul, I recently purchased a 21-year-old Porsche Boxster as a hobby car. The leather seats had been showing wear-and-tear with paint worn away in some areas, along with some cracking and creasing. I wasn’t getting anywhere with a number of off-the-shelf products I tried. As this is quite a unique colour and this car is special to me I felt that I needed a proper colour match and an easy-to-use restoration kit which you were able to provide for me. This was really straight forward to apply, and I’m super pleased with the results. The colour is perfect, seats are nice and supple and it’s made a huge difference to the overall appearance of the interior. I highly recommend your services to anyone looking to restore leather car seats!" Greg - Whangaparaoa

It's turned a comfortable-but-ugly couch into a magnificent specimen. Looking forward to picking up some more doer-upper leather pieces off trademe now!" Sally - Rotorua

"Hi Paul. We recently purchased this furniture in the 'vintage leather range'. It seems like it had no protection at all and our 3 children have made scratches on it already so it's looking pretty worn which is a shame as it wasn't cheap. We were told by the salesman not to use any care products on it. But we wanted to condition it and find something to help blend these scratches. The care products you sent have definitely improved the look of the leather, covered some of the scratches, and made it look richer in colour, which is great!" Emma - Hamilton

"Hi Paul, This is the cream couch I found on the road side that was to be dumped! I brought it home and used your restoration kit to changed it to a dark brown. What a difference! Now it has a new life and my visitors can't believe the transformation. Thanks so much for your help. I've just found another couch I will restore with your products." Shannon - Auckland

"Hi Paul, thought I would take time to email you. We bought a second hand lazy boy leather suite from some friends, whilst it had been well looked after and kept out of the sun it was shiny in appearance and felt boardy. I saw your product and although skeptical decided to purchase the leather care kit. Well I have just finished the suite and have to say the transformation is impressive and the leather feels so much softer and natural. Unfortunately I didnt`t take any before pics but it's as good as when purchased new. (looks way better than in the photo) Very good product thanks." Steve - Kaitaia

Your cleaner and brush literally disolved the dirt and I can't believe how clean it looks. After conditioning and protecting, the leather now feels beautiful! My misses is really fussy and hard to please but right now she's sitting in one of the chairs rubbing her hands over the arms with a big grin on her face! So, well done mate. Your stuff is exceptional!" Keith - Auckland

1 - Black Leather Car Seats Cleaned And Conditioned
![black car seat black car seat](images/kerin.jpg)
"I have a car with black leather upholstery. To clean the outside I use a Mothers product which does a brillant job. So I assumed their leather cleaner would be good too but I was very dissapointed. It made the leather feel very slippery which I noticed especially when driving. I found your website and felt very comfortable with your approach and advice and went ahead and bought your "triple pack plus brush". So far I've only done the 2 front seats and the leather feels noticeably softer and natural instead of slippery. One thing I have noticed over the past week is the drivers seat is now feeling softer than the passenger seat so I think that the conditioner seems to go deeper when leather is used more. Your products work brilliantly and I'll be using them on my lounge suite as well. Thanks." Karyn - Christchurch
